Abstract

We capture individual rubidium-85 atoms in steerable optical tweezers with high efficiency to study atomic interactions with a known number of atoms. These tweezers allow us to capture and move individual atoms, and to prepare them in a specific quantum states. We show the usefulness of this platform to study atomic interactions like individual molecule formation and spin changing collisions.
